First Communion Celebration

My Communion Prayer * Dear God, I know that You give me many gifts. The gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ in Holy Communion is the greatest of all. How can I ever thank You enough for this special gift? At Mass we are called to be like Jesus, by loving and serving one another in the world. As I become more like Him, please continue to help me. Show me the places and ways that I can bring Your love, kindness, and peace to others...in my family, in my neighborhood, in my community, with my friends. I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.

Dear Lord, we ask that you pray for us who received the Holy Eucharist at your holy table for the first time on Sunday, May 6th, 2018.

Heavenly Father, you are the source of life and love. Thank you for sending your Spirit upon our teachers, Connie Thompson, Jamie Ross, Valerie Garrow and Laura Morris, and your inspiration to them not only as teachers of your truth, but as witnesses of your love; for giving them the joy to proclaim the Good News of salvation and helping them see your will at work in their lives so that they may share it with others; for giving them the wisdom to teach and help us discover the mysteries of our faith in new and exciting ways so that our curiosity will inspire us to become your loyal disciples.

We pray to you, almighty Father, in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ the Master-Teacher, the Healer, and the Savior, and in unity with the Holy Spirit who inspires us with knowledge, courage, and understanding. Amen.

A sincere blessing and niawenko:wa to our entire church community who were witnesses to this holy celebration, and to those who could not be with us physically, but are there in spirit. Niawenko:wa to Father Jerome Pastores for the celebrations of First Penance and First Eucharist.
